Family Values Lyrics

By Dogwood
Intro: G#..B-Bb-G#-B...Bb-B-Bb (3X)
Bb(pm)-B(pm)
Verse 1:
When we were kids
We were told to respect our elders and what they did
Only speak when spoken to
When she was stripped
Of the trust bestowed to us by the one that she loved
She didn't know she could run to You
CHORUS:
It's a sad time we live in, little girls grow up scared of their dads
It's a feeling they should never have
What kind of person can do this, how worthless is the word innocence
To her dear old loving dad?
Verse 2:
Now her mom sits
Wondering why her baby goes through these fits
Of anger, torment, and of rage
Oh please dear God
Pick up this small beauty and show her You
And all the wonders You can do
(CHORUS)
(INTRO (muted))
He showed her exactly how to hate
Him a full grown man, she was only eight
He stole what was most precious to her
Nothing was more sacred, and cannot be returned
